<p>Well, I read <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> post yesterday - I have a strong background in CS/coding (former PostDoc) but also in managing multilateral research projects as a principal investigator (so not the whole project as such but specific workpackages); honestly, I would like to contribute on the coding side but I also can take care of management duties (as mentioned in <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> ); but I think for the former it is yet way too early<br>
also, I gotta run now but will reply asap!</p>

<p>In terms of code contributions, you can take a look at <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team#working-groups" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team#working-groups">the active working groups</a> and pick one that you're interested in, then post in the relevant stream to find some tasks involving that.</p>
